Katy Perry Has A Silly On-Stage Moment With A Fan Named Orlando At Her Nashville Show
The "Hot n' Cold" singer has been super busy on her viral, worldwide 'Lifetimes Tour,' where she's been singing some of her newer tunes as well as hit songs from her intense and popular discography. While the tour has received some criticism from fans and internet users for being a little "bizarre" and having a different vibe from some of her previous concert ventures, Katy has seemingly shrugged off the criticism and has been enjoying her time interacting with fans around the world.
During one of her shows in Nashville, Tennessee, this week, the pop star pulled an excited fan on stage who was dressed in a large, hilarious cat costume. It's not unusual for Katy to create special one-on-one moments for fans during her shows, and she is known to invite them on stage for some fun occasionally. However, this moment turned a little awkward.
After asking the excited, cat-dressed fan what his name was in a viral clip from her show, the fan was a bit hesitant in revealing his name, which was Orlando. His name, which is the same name as her ex, Orlando Bloom, earned some gasps and laughter from the audience.
"Your name's Orlando?" asked Katy in response before taking a bit of an awkward pause. "Incredible."
Then, like a pro, the singer carried on with the rest of her show, but given her latest relationship updates, the moment certainly stood out, and clips of it went viral on social media.
The Internet Reacts To Katy's Funny Fan Interaction
The internet has been buzzing over Katy and Orlando's breakup, considering they seemed so in love, occasionally posting about how close they are and how much they love their shared daughter, Daisy. However, seemingly out of the blue, the couple announced they were ending their romantic relationship and staying friends so they could be good co-parents.
Since then, the 40-year-old has been seen on a date with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and has seemingly moved on from her breakup, which was only confirmed in early July. Therefore, when she got a slightly painful reminder of her ex's name on stage this week, the internet couldn't help but share some hilarious responses.
"I'm crying," posted an X user after sharing the viral clip.
"She didn't know what to say," added another.
"The way he took a couple of seconds to say it," wrote an X user referring to the fan's name, as another commented, "he did NOT wanna say it."
"Bro was contemplating changing his name for a minute," joked a user.
"That 'incredible' was fully loaded," posted another.
While we'll be curious to see if Katy acknowledges the viral moment anytime soon, it's safe to say the internet is still laughing about it.
